The OCRL1 gene mutation changes the intracellular transport in kidney cells by preventing the re-absorption of proteins that are then eliminated in the urine. A clear mechanism that damages the kidneys in Lowe syndrome, a rare genetic disease that affects the eyes and brain to describe in the journal EMBO Journal is the team led [...]
It opens the way to the study of drugs aimed at treating patients suffering from drug addiction. The University of Bordeaux in France is the author of an important discovery published in Molecular Psychiatry, one of the major international journals devoted to studies on the biological mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders and their cure. The study, [...]
From a large-molecular genetic study on the cerebellum was seen that the second most common type of malignant brain tumor in children is the ependymoma. An international team of researchers has discovered that the second most common type of malignant brain tumor in children is the ependymoma. The discovery is part of a large-molecular genetic [...]
A study on the ‘olive scab’ showed that the disease state of a plant is maintained both by the pathogenic bacteria from innocuous. A team of researchers led by Vittorio Venturi of the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in Trieste found that harmless bacteria and pathogens are able to communicate and thus [...]
The ability to remember the origin of memories is a long process that develops during adolescence, but only when we become mature adults. Researchers in Germany have discovered that children develop the ability to remember past events and the origin of these memories in childhood and adolescence. Presented in the journal child development, the results [...]
Is there something seemingly simpler than the water? Despite its apparent simplicity this we know so well fluid is complex and still not well understood. Water is endowed with some exceptional properties physical, chemical which constitute its specificity. As demonstrates this article, the structure microscopic liquid water, which is in based on these properties, is [...]
